"We recently visited ANNEX and had a great experience. For drinks, we ordered the House Margarita and a specialty Dos XX, paired with the Toro Loco Burrito, which came with steak. The burrito was filled with rice and beans — it was good, but we had enjoyed a better version during a previous visit. We also got some queso for the chips, which added a nice touch. My wife opted for the fajita burrito, which featured a mix of beef and chicken, and she really liked it. She requested charro beans instead of fried beans, and the waitress was very accommodating, bringing her a bowl of the charro beans. Overall, it was a very good visit, and we took some photos of our food to remember the occasion. We often frequent this restaurant in the Legions area, especially after attending Kansas City Monarchs games. On this visit, we both ordered the fajitas mix burrito, which was generously smothered in queso cheese. It also came with rice and a choice of black beans, refried beans, or charro beans. The burrito was packed with fajita veggies, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Everything was incredibly delicious! It's common for burritos with shrimp to include smaller salad shrimp, but we were pleasantly surprised to find six full shrimp, size 30-40, which were baked and seasoned perfectly. We also ordered a pitcher of Texas margaritas to share, which was enough for about four full glasses. We did have to ask for lime, but that didn't detract from our enjoyment. We were very pleased with both the margaritas and burritos, and we even brought home half of our burritos to enjoy later."

"The absolute best breakfast/brunch/lunch cafe that I have ever found. I brought my father and mother in law here for breakfast on a fluke. I was immediately impressed with the way we were greeted. The manager greeted us with a huge smile and quickly placed us on the waiting list. It was an early Thursday Morning and there was already a short wait to be seated. That also let me know right away that the food was really good. Our wait time was shorted than estimated. As we walked through the restaurant I noticed that there were many beautifully plated meals. The smell of vanilla flavored waffles and bacon filled the air. My stomach growled on cue. Once seated our server Petra also greeted us with a very warm smile and offered us coffee. The coffee was delicious and fresh. My father ordered a lemon aide it was made from scratch and we could see the fresh fruit and mint leaves. However, the best was yet to come. The food. The food is the best breakfast food that I have ever had, period. Better than Richard Walkers, Blueberry Hill, or any other restaurant I can name. Both of the other institutions are great, in their own right, but Syrup is even better. IJS. Syrup was so good that I brought my husband back to try it the next day and I was even more impressed the second time. Petra was our server again and I tried a different item of the menu. It was just as good. Now I am going to have to come back and try something new each time: next up chicken and waffles.In sum, when in the St. Charles area, visit Syrup and see if you're not convinced: Syrup is the best ."
